The Mandalorian Approach to Complex Data Sources

Please join TEXAS ACEDS as we continue the collaboration between the Houston, Austin, and Dallas chapters. Our first 2023 event brings experts from distinct vantage points of the eDiscovery process together for a lively discussion on new data in litigation. We have 3 great speakers representing law firms, software, and corporations. They are excited to provide their unique perspectives on how they approach new and emerging sources of data across the lifecycle of litigations and discovery

Rich Robinson (Director of Legal Operations and Litigation Support, Toyota Motors North America), Cat Casey (Chief Growth Officer – Reveal) and Nick Curtis (eDiscovery Manager – Tokio Marine) share their experiences on their various roles in the world of complex eDiscovery.

Our topic – dealing with modern data – explores the legal aspect of dealing with new and emerging data. Our speakers will share best practices on how they are approaching complex and emerging data sources — from information governance to collections to emerging tools and technology. Come for some practical guidance on what these experts are implementing at their organizations.

“This is the Way!”
